Create a ZIP File using Python

Code Explanation:

import zipfile

• This imports the built-in zipfile module, which allows us to create, read, write, and manipulate ZIP files.

files = ['file1.txt', 'file2.txt']

• This is a list containing the names of files (file1.txt, file2.txt) that we want to include in the ZIP archive.

# Create a ZIP file with zipfile.ZipFile('pycl.zip', 'w') as zipf:

• zipfile.ZipFile('pycl.zip', 'w'): This creates a new ZIP file named pycl.zip in write mode ('w').

• The with statement ensures that the ZIP file is properly closed after execution.

for file in files: zipf.write(file)

• This loops through the files list and adds each file to the ZIP archive using zipf.write(file).

• If file1.txt and file2.txt exist in the current directory, they will be added to pycl.zip.

print("ZIP file created!")

• This prints a confirmation message after successfully creating the ZIP file.
